Salary, Living Costs: Singapore, Jakarta, Manila/Makati
What is the ideal salary for someone who is targeting Program Manager in Strategy & Ops/Founder's-CEO's-MD's Office? What is the rent like in the aforementioned cities? How much should one churn out to live modestly in these places? For example: I used to make 60k+ INR in Gurgaon and my rent was 16k and miscellaneous was 15k more. Rest was all savings/investment. Will love help here.
Singapore you probably need 2.5-3x of India salary to maintain a similar standard of living
Jakarta - While overall very cheap, you should get paid 1.5x of India to compensate for the costs of being an expat (food, stay etc is limited and hence you spend more)
Have not lived in Manila and hence no context about how it is there
Do you think people save more money in Singapore or india overall? Does high cost of living mean I make no savings?
I did see people ending up saving money
I think low taxation makes a huge load of difference. Plus I think good public infrastructure helps - less spend on commute etc.
